First, I am a strong believer in not overpaying for cables, but I did go through an example with HDMI cable when setting up a Large Sony LCD TV. The TV was a 42" Bravia 240mhz and we were connecting it to a Dell 580s Computer with HDMI out for Blu Ray and video. When using an old HDMI that I had buried in the wall a few years ago, we could not get the resolution to maximize to the screen size. Had to go to a lower resolution to get the proper size. I later picked up a pair of "Rocket Fish" HDMI which are the latest version that support Ethernet. I will spare you all the specs and I didn't pay much more then $30 for 2 8ft pair. But they improved the resolution so that now we have the highest setting for the monitor and video card. I'm not sure if the higher refresh rate of 240mhz has anything to do with it. It might be worth trying the lastest generation hdmi cable before anything else. If it works, return it and buy it on amazon for a better price.
